10 of the Funniest Sitcoms in History
Written by Wayne Torres on January 7th, 2010
10. Three\’s Company. Premiered in the 1970s when the show\’s content was considered shocking. A guy who lived with two girls was taboo. Very much taboo.
Nine. The Dick Van Dyke Show. Just about everybody on this show was hilarious. An absolute classic.
8. Arrested Development. A newer show created by Ron Howard. Based on the lives of the once wealthy Bluth family. Very funny and unfortunately did not last a very long time on the air.
It\’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Hilarious show with very entertaining characters and interesting stories. The plotlines of this show are much deeper than most comedies out there.
I Love Lucy. This very funny show has been showing on the air since 1951. Obviously, re-runs but still funny even in today\’s standards. This show has many die-hard fans proven by the I Love Lucy conventions every year.
Five. Curb Your Enthusiasm. From the creator of Seinfeld, Larry David, is brilliant when playing his selfish and grossly politically incorrect alter ego. Very profane language.
4. The Simpsons. 20 years! That\’s an insane amount of time yet every single episode has been hilarious. Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie have provided us with laughs all this time.
All In The Family. Another one of the classics that opened more doors for other sitcoms. Incredibly funny but they did so with intelligence rather than cheap shots.
Two. Seinfeld. Always classified as the funniest sitcom of all time, even though it was often called \”The show about nothing.\” It was not only consistently funny, they knew when to end it. Seinfeld went out with a bang. For those who have watched the entire series, you will note that the show began and ended with the same sentence.
One. The Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason once said that they were four people on one small set that managed to be funny and entertaining without profanity or any sort of sexual innuendo. Most of the episodes took place in the Kramden\’s kitchen with only the four primary actors. And it was funny.
